Finding the perfect balance between providing valuable free content and driving sales can be a challenging task for most business owners. Are you giving away too much free content on your podcast? Could it be decreasing sales? These are common questions that many podcasters ponder.

Finding the balance

Creating a successful podcast involves striking a balance between offering free content and leveraging it to drive sales. Throughout this podcast, I emphasize the importance of understanding the nuances of timing and context when determining the impact of your podcast on sales.
